I had the pleasure of speaking at Gratz College outside
Philadelphia last week. The topic was, once again, the academic
boycott of Israel, followed by a Q&A session. For those of you
near Los Angeles, I’ll be speaking at the invitation of Children of
Jewish Holocaust Survivors – Los Angeles, co-sponsored by the…

Marisa DeFranco is a liberal Democratic outsider challenging
incumbent Democrat John Tierney in the 6th District of
Massachusetts. We previously wrote about the mistreatment of
DeFranco at the hands of the Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee, Female Democratic candidate charges War on Women …

Obama’s…

Well, the National Rifle Association has finally decided to release
a statement about what I call the “open carry IN YOUR FACE!”
(henceforth “OCIYF!”) crowd in Texas, and the implications for
reasonable gun owners and concealed carriers. The money shot? Let’s
not mince words, not only is [the open carry of long…

If Eric Holder wants to force James Risen to reveal a confidential
source or go to jail, it looks like Holder could get his way after
the Supreme Court today declined to take an appeal from NY Times
reporter James Risen. WaPo elaborates on the background of the
case: In a 2006 book,…

The release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in exchange for 5 top
Taliban terrorists held at Gitmo has led to some mixed and
hostile reaction. Meanwhile, across the Mexican border near my home
town of San Diego, another American sergeant is languishing as a
prisoner. The border crossing is undergoing construction, and the
warning signs…

Hillary Clinton and her closest allies know that Benghazi spells
big trouble for her in 2016, especially with a select committee
poised to launch a new investigation with a fresh round of
questions. With that in mind, it’s no surprise that Clinton is
trying to cut them off at the pass by…

California Tea Party groups (CTPG) are showing that they are not
only alive and kicking, but actively seeking to make a difference
in Tuesday’s upcoming gubernatorial primary election. “Our groups
have now made an exception to their longstanding no endorsement
rules,” explained Dawn Wildman, long-time state coordinator and
co-fonder of the SoCal…

A little more information is available now about Mehdi
Nemmouche, the gunman who killed three people – including an
Israeli couple – and gravely injured one other in the Jewish Museum
of Belgium on May 24. Nemmouche is a French citizen (he was
arrested in Marseille, France) with a long arrest record, was…

So, we have Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl released in exchange for five of
the most notorious Taliban held in Guantanamo, the place Obama
keeps saying he wants to empty. This certainly helps to empty it.
The five men will now be held by Qatar, which has reassured us
they’ll be in secure…

Saturday marked the one year anniversary of the Gezi Park protests
that subsequently persisted for months in Turkey last year.
As many tried to gather to commemorate that anniversary,
authorities responded on Saturday by blocking access to some
locations and cracking down on some of the protesters. From

Veteran Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward was on FOX News
Sunday today. When Chris Wallace asked him to opine on Obama’s
recent foreign policy speech, Woodward explained why it was so
ineffective. Here’s the clip. Amir Taheri was even less impressed.
From the New York Post… Obama speaks loudly and carries a small
stick Until…

The reliably leftist publication Mother Jones has noticed that
using trains to transport oil hasn’t worked out too well over the
last few years. Too bad there’s no safer way to transport fuel. Why
do these tank cars carrying oil keep blowing up?

Obama and many of his supporters have claimed that problems with
the VA go back many years. While there is some truth to that,
they’ve neglected to point out that prior to becoming president,
Senator Barack Obama served on the Veterans Affairs Committee. This
was a very good catch by Weasel Zippers… Yesterday, Barack…

Senator Ted Cruz has been on a roll lately and he seems to be
picking up steam as he goes. Conor Finnegan of CNN reported… Ted
Cruz, R-Texas, has won another straw poll, boosting his national
profile and elevating his name among potential 2016 presidential
contenders. The firebrand freshman senator and tea party
favorite…

Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was released yesterday in exchange for 5 top
Taliban terrorists held at Gitmo. On the one hand, an American
soldier was brought home. As with the Israelis, it sends a signal
that we don’t leave anyone behind, even when the trade is lopsided
and frees those who may…

The Times of Israel is reporting that one person has been arrested
for last week’s shooting at the Jewish Museum of Belgium that
